This
is for the incredibly inconsiderate male driver of a large white pickup truck
who so dangerously and rudely passed three women on their horses on North
Fayston Road last Sunday. Just so you know, you could have seriously injured
any one of the horses and riders with your reckless and excessive speed though
I hardly think you care considering your actions.

We
had one rider ahead, one trying to remount her horse and the third, that would
be me, hanging back to make sure she mounted with no issues. And you were
speeding up the hill as fast as you possibly could with no regard for any of
us. I asked you to slow down by motioning to you with my hands in a downward
motion which you completely ignored actually speeding up. When I yelled at you
to slow down because you were scaring the horses and my horse was moving toward
the center of the road, you revved up your engine and peeled out giving us the
finger.

A
week later, riding down Center Fayston, a man on a tractor was coming toward us
and he nicely slowed down; however, a blue Chevy truck with a young man driving
passed the tractor. Again, I asked him to slow down; he ignored me and sped by
us!

Prior
to that an Audi convertible went by us at a fast speed; he seemed to live in
the area but gave us little regard. There were some considerate drivers that
slowed after seeing us riding on the road. To those I say thank you!

I
don’t understand those who speed by horses. What don’t you get about slowing
down – they are animals! How many of you would speed by a person with a baby
carriage, young children, a dog? I don’t think so.

These
are dirt roads with severe drop-offs on either side for drainage. If one gets
pushed over the edge it could be quite serious, especially for a horse.

Basically,
I feel so over the edge with the rudeness of most of the drivers going by us; I
will be taking license numbers and turning them over to the police from now on.
I have had it.
